2 yrs since my last btl. Lovely at age 10. On the nose: cranberry, black tea, mushroom tea, wild strawberry; still fairly primary. On the palate: fantastically zippy acidity, loads of wild strawberry/cranberry, slate, charcoal, cola, black pepper stemmy notes. and attenuated tannin. Gorgeous right now, but just starting to get going imo.

Unscrew and pour. On the nose: red raspberry, bramble, savory herbs, soft va, violets. On the palate: fantastic acidity, bark, raspberry, blueberry, so hi-toned and lightweight, with good density to boot. On the finish: attenuated tannin, but very bright with a hint of medicinal herbs.

Popped and poured. Fun to compare this to the 2011 which I had about a week ago. This was much more lush and fruit forward as you'd expect versus the colder vintage. No real tannins or overt acidity but still possesses enough underlying structure to balance out the fruit. Perfect Monday night wine. 90pts.

Lovely balance of fruit an age on the mouth. A bit of rusty color mixed with ruby.
